I have used her http://quiltville.blogspot.co.uk/201...tern-time.html but made it a Dancing 16 Patch, as I have so many and I want a large quilt. I have also changed the sashing fabric from 1.5" to 2" as the squares are bigger. I am using a sunny yellow fabric as I don't want to use up my white on whites as I need them so much for other quilts that I have in the pipeline, what is your opinions ladies?

I love your idea. I also have a stash of small pieces of fabric. Thank you for referring me to Bonnie's Dancing Nine pattern. I hope to start on her Alletaire quilt as soon as my sewing area is set up. I also have a large amount of yellow fabric that I might use as quilt backing.

Thank you so much ladies for your supportive comments, for some reason or other I was a bit undecided about the yellow but now I am so chuffed that I used it as it is going to be a much nicer quilt than I originally thought. It is growing quickly as I am making 2 other quilts, Sweet Caroline, which doesn't lend itself to a lot of chain peicing so it was a perfect oportunity to do a leader/ender project with my shoebox of 2" squares. The yellow was a good choice as well because there are a lot of white 2" but not a lot of yellow so it highlights the blocks quite well.

I do think Bonnie Hunters original pattern http://quiltville.blogspot.co.uk/201...tern-time.html lends itself to a lot of different interpretions and sizes, one to remember me thinks
